A Picasso

“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” ~ PABLO PICASSOTHE PLAY
German occupied Paris, 1941. World-renowned artist Pablo Picasso has been escorted to an underground vault for an interview with Miss Fischer, a cultural attaché for the Third Reich. Her simple request: “We need you to identify three paintings”. What ensues is a taut yet sly battle over politics, sex, and art’s place in violent and dangerous times.THE VENUE
The 5 & Dime is excited to announce we now have a home base which we’ll be using primarily for rehearsals and storage, and the occasional event. It also happens to be the perfect environment for transporting you to a “storage vault somewhere in Paris” so we decided to pair this particular play with The Warehouse and invite you all to come see how your patronage helps us continue to grow.
A WORD ABOUT THE WAREHOUSE: This isn’t The Cummer. We’ve cleaned up in all the important places but expect a warehouse space on a loading dock and wear comfortable and cool clothing. And in return, we promise a visceral and raw evening of storytelling that will stay with you long after you’ve headed home.

The 5 & Dime

The 5 & Dime’s commitment to our community is reflected in our mission: The 5 & Dime tells stories that engage, inspire, entertain, and challenge audiences, nurturing a rich artistic culture in Jacksonville’s Urban Core. We’re dedicated to fulfilling that mission but, as you know, we can’t do it alone. The pursuit of excellence and the ability to introduce new audiences to the power of live theatre takes the support of members from the community like you, whose very lives we seek to enrich.Events

Donate

The 5 & Dime is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and ticket revenue covers only a small portion of our operating costs. In an effort to make The 5 & Dime as accessible as possible to everyone by keeping ticket prices affordable, we rely on charitable contributions for a major part of our operating income. Without it, we simply wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t be able to bring you the kind of high-quality productions our community has come to enjoy.
